The Cosmetics Info Org website is a really useful resource for consumers (and professionals) to look up information about soap and lotion ingredients. You can search under common and INCI names for specific ingredients you are trying to demystify, and it's loaded with easy to read articles and papers with diagrams to explain ingredients so you can understand.

It is run by Personal Care Products Council so that it's not biased towards any one manufacturer, something that's very important for gathering impartial information - they aren't selling anything, or anyone's books or products.

We recommend this site constantly as it's such a free, but valuable resource
